A random problem

Level pending

Squigi is really irritated with an elf after the elf decided to point his ears at him. HE WANTS TO MUTILATE ALL THE ELVES IN THE WORLD. He wonders which ways he can torture elves, but he wants to eat them first before torturing them. However we know that is plain nonsense, so Squigi has to pull them out to torture them. All the elves are in his stomach, and he can pull them out. It takes 2 minutes for Squigi to pull an elf through the stomach, 5 minutes to pull it through the gullet and a minute to vomit it out of his mouth. After doing this process once, he will take twice as long for the next elf, then thrice as long for the next one. However, there is a faster route. It involves passing the elf out through the large intestine. This will only take one minute, but because of the fatness of the elf it can only work once, after which Squigi will get constipation. After the Squigi has taken out all the elves, it takes 49 minutes. How many elves are there?

Notes and assumptions: 1. If the elf is passed out through the large intestine, the next elf will take four times as long as the previous elf were to be passed out through the normal process. Basically, 2nd elf = 2times, 3rd elf, 3 times of second elf, 4th elf, 4 times of 3 times of 2 times. 2. The second elf cannot be passed out through the large intestine method.
3. This problem has a lot of words, and I'm sorry. I did this to help my CWP. :( Math is better.
4. Squigi has not found all the elves in the world especially not the one line elf.
5. My answer may be wrong as I'm too tired from typing.
